Advisement FAQ

A Special Education Certification (successful candidates are certified in
elementary and secondary CDB and CDS) concentration is available to Vocational
Rehabilitation students. This is a unique program that combines many aspects
of vocational rehabilitation services and special education.

Many of our graduates have been able to move into rehabilitation supervisory
positions once they obtain work experience in the field. While many facilities
do seek persons with a master's degree for supervisory positions, we have found
that the undergraduate student in vocational rehabilitation has been able to
do very well in terms of advancement. Many of our students do realize, however,
that the master's degree does provide them with additional opportunities. This
accounts for the reason many B.S. degreed students decide to come back and
earn a master's degree. It is important to note, however, that the employment
prospects for persons with a bachelor's degree in vocational rehabilitation
are excellent, and it is not required to have a master's degree to find good
jobs.
